Explanation:

- Section 13 (1) and Section 18 (1): These sections were struck down by the Madras High Court for being unconstitutional as they permit unchecked delegation of powers, which can lead to arbitrary decisions.

- Article 12: Defines the "State" for the purpose of Parts III and IV of the Constitution, which pertains to Fundamental Rights. It is not directly related to this case.

- Article 13: Declares laws that contravene Fundamental Rights as void. It is relevant but not the central issue here.

- Article 14: Guarantees the right to equality before the law and equal protection of the laws. The focus of the case is on arbitrary power, which violates this article.

- Article 15: Prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. It is not relevant to this case.
